STEP BY STEP:

Let us calculate the area of one triangle.

For each triangle, a = b = 50 cm, c = 20 cm

Semi Perimeter

s = (a + b + c)/2

= (50 + 50 + 20)/2

= 120/2

= 60 cm

By using Heron’s formula,

Area of triangle = √s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)

= √s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)

= √60(60 - 50)(60 - 50)(60 - 20)

= √60 × 10 × 10 × 40

= 200√6 cm2

Therefore,

Area of 10 triangular pieces = 10 × 200√6 cm2 = 2000√6 cm2

Hence, cloth required for each colour = (Total area of the cloth)/2

= (2000√6)/2

= 1000√6 cm2

Thus, 1000√6 cm2 cloth of each colour is required for the umbrella.
